Guys, Francis Bourgeois has his own show coming out next week!

I don’t know who needs to know this, maybe everyone, but train extraordinaire Francis Bourgeois has his own show coming. How could this get any better you might be thinking? Well let me tell you, it’s coming NEXT WEEK.

Yep, Francis Bourgeois is hitting the tracks for a unique five-part Channel 4 digital series called Trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois. He will be joined on his adventures across the UK by celebrity pals Chloe Burrows, AJ Tracey, Aisling Bea, Eurovision’s Sam Ryder, and Jesse Lingard.

Across five episodes, Francis will be offering a unique perspective on the much misunderstood British pastime of trainspotting, where he’ll be joined by some famous faces for an adventure of a lifetime, wild trainspotting across five different locations in the UK.

In each episode a different celeb, who you might not expect to see on the platform edge, heads “off the rails” with Francis. It’s been described as “a heart-warming, eye-opening adventure” and tbh, I’m already hooked.

Each episode will be published on Channel 4’s YouTube channel, with shorter versions published on Channel 4’s Facebook, Instagram and TikTok from 19^th October.

Speaking about the show, Francis said: “Trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois has been an absolute whirlwind. When I started making videos about my hobby I never thought anything like this would happen. It’s been totally surreal. Celebrities I’ve seen on TV, stages and sports stadiums, I’ve been able to take into my domain to show them how trains and all things mechanical engineering make me feel, hopefully making them feel something good too!

“Showcasing my passion in a way I have never been able to before has been so liberating. Showing the ins and outs that make railway enthusiasm such a rollercoaster. I cannot wait to show you all!”

I can’t wait to join you, Francis!

Trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois starts on Wednesday 19th October. For all the latest TV news and gossip, like The Holy Church of Love Island on Facebook.
